Can. Little bit of pinky red sort of colour. Medium head. The aroma is generic yeasty boring, with a touch of rhubarb. On the palate it's got a big strawberry rhubarb character, although the base beer is a waste of time, and that undermines the potential that I see in the flavours that are layered over top.

Purply-brown colour and no head. Deep berries and wood, a bit of balsamic. A little too vinegary, a touch of berry, sharp acid in the finish, so overall it’s okay, a bit aggressive.

Can. Very pale yellow, and opaque. On the nose the hops recall pommelo, peach, and orange. The palate has moderate bitterness and more orangey character, decent malt base for a hazy. The bitterness and juiciness in the finish makes this appetizing.

Has that dark apricot juice colour and no head. The aroma is juicy mixed fruit and that's the same on the palate. Nice tartness, lots of grapefruit, orange, and other tasty fruity things. Very breakfast. I like it.

Can. Has that rich orangey mango juice colour. No head. Massive mango aroma, a bit of passionfruit in there as well (but I can only identify it because it says so on the label). The DIPA shows through in both the alcohol and hop bitterness, and maybe some gooseberry sort of hop notes. But this is really fruit forward, blasting through the base beer. Guessing all pale malts on the base. Some lactose creaminess. I'm not going to lie - this is one of the best of it's type I've ever had from a BC brewery.

On tap in Kamloops. Smells of funky smoky sour something, very nice in fact, and has a murky yellow body with soft foam. Flavour is tart smoky sourness, simple but working well. Mouthfeel is full and nice and there's a good smoky aftertaste. This is an enjoyable rendition of a style that could easily go horribly wrong.

Can, from Cask & Barrel in West Kelowna. Dark amber, just a slight haze. Very thin head. I mean it looks okay, but it's a dated look for the style. The aroma is all kinds of caramel chewiness, bit of diacetyl. Oh boy. On the palate, that same chewy, buttery character. Lots of bitterness and the malts are sort of a crackery, toasty type. So the butter is less prominent on the palate than it is on the aroma, but this isn't a beer you want to let warm up on you.

Nice deep fruit aroma, has a good dark pink body with fast disappearing head. Flavour is nice fruits, sharp with hints of blue cheese. Mouthfeel is full. A good sour.

Pink-red colour, thick head. There’s a light hibiscus and rancid butter aroma. Yikes. Rancid butter dominates. Gross. How can anybody sell this and feel good about themselves? It's infected, just dump it and stop debasing your brand.

Cloudy, pale-ish opaque. Medium head. Yeasty with light fruit, just a touch of bug. Very yeasty, quite bitter, barely any bug or fruit on the nose.
